Workflow Approvals with a drop down feature added?
Is there anyway that when you setup a workflow for an approval automation, that when the reviewer gets the email, can they have a list of rejection notes in a drop down fashion to choose from?
When rejecting submissions our team has like 5 cookie cutter answers that we run into. Would love it if they could have a drop down option to select why they're rejecting it.
I have column setup as a dropdown list of those 5 rejection reasons. If something is declinded it goes back to the submitter with that rejection note. So critical when rewviewing that someone can select from that list.
How do we solve for this in Smartsheet?
Thanks

Hi @Ryan blake
I hope you're well and safe!
Unfortunately, it's not possible now in an Approval, but it's an excellent idea!
Here's a possible workaround or workarounds
- You could use an Update Request as the Approval Process and include the different options.
Would that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic weekend!
